Paula Tarr, Registered MBACP - Counsellor For Women

About me

I am a professionally trained BACP Integrative Therapeutic Counsellor.  This means I use different theoretical models to suit each individual, including Person Centred, Existential and Psychodynamic methods, along with exploration of family patterns.

I have a specialist interest and experience working with women and women's issues. I understand the pressures and influences on women today and how opening up and talking about problems can be very difficult. There is a growing number of women today feeling overwhelmed by external pressures and the need to meet the expectations of others and the expectations they have placed on themselves.

I have worked with many people who are experiencing low mood, feelings of anxiety and depression, stress, feeling totally overwhelmed by life, low self-esteem and problems in their relationships as well as many other issues.

We will focus on how having a healthy relationship with yourself will enable you to have healthy relationships with others.  We will look at how self-love and self-care can lead to establishing healthy boundaries both in the workplace and at home.  We will work toward you fulfilling your potential and becoming more content with your life.

My aim is to provide a safe space for you to feel heard and understood in a non-judgemental way.
